About this Classroom Training
As the global energy landscape shifts towards sustainability, the production of clean hydrogen is paramount. Pivotable technologies require hydrogen, including the synthesis of ammonia and methanol. Currently, most hydrogen is manufactured via steam/methane reforming, a process that consumes significant energy and co-produces large amounts of CO2. Therefore, recovering, purifying, and reusing hydrogen presents a win-win scenario.
Hydrogen network optimisation, at a relatively low cost, enables producers to meet stringent environmental regulations while increasing profitability and decreasing carbon emissions. Participants will learn a methodology for optimising hydrogen use in various industrial settings. Participants will able to grasp overviews of major hydrogen producers, which can include catalytic reformers, steam/methane reformers, electrolysers, partial oxidation plants, olefin plants, gas-to-liquid plants, FCC units, and cokers.
Offsite hydrogen can be sourced from electrolysis of water, ammonia cracking, pyrolysis, and industrial gas suppliers. Additionally, participants will receive an overview of hydrogen purifiers such as amine treaters, lean-oil absorbers, PSA units, cryogenic units, and semi-permeable membranes, with emphasis on the impacts of hydrogen purity on downstream hydrogen consumers.
Through case studies, participants will examine examples of hydrogen network analysis, simulation, optimisation, and integration. The participants will explore the linkages between hydrogen networks and ammonia and methanol plants, as well as over-the-fence hydrogen supply options. Participants will receive guidance on to adopt such strategies within their own organisations.
This course will be delivered face-to-face over 3-day sessions, comprising of 8 hours per day, 1 hour lunch and 2 breaks of 15 minutes per day. Course Duration: 19.50 hours in total, 19.50 CPD points. This course can also be delivered through Virtual Inspector Led Training.
